Pick up your badge and registration materials at the Stetson Lounge. Then grab a drink and catch up with friends, old and new.
Come early for your chance to grab a seat on one of three boats for a free twilight river tour of San Antonio’s famous River Walk!
Boat tours depart at 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM and launch near the hotel. Arrive early to the Stetson before the boats leave, please. We will walk over as a group to the boat departure (which will be in front of the hotel).
Badges, which you will pick up, are required for the boat tour.
Everybody loves a good GIF! GIFs are revolutionizing the way we communicate in the modern workplace via apps like Slack or Hipchat.
A good GIF can help convey complex emotions than can often be misrepresented or misunderstood in just the written form. More importantly, a culture of GIFs creates a positive team morale.
In this talk, we will cover:
We tend to think of web performance in purely objective terms: seconds to first paint, milliseconds of latency, and so on. We build apps to be as objectively as speedy as possible and blindly hope that fast feels fast. Unfortunately, as anyone who's ever waited in line at the DMV can tell you, humans are terrible at judging time.
If we instead shift to address perceived performance directly, we can make our creations feel even faster than they already are. By exploiting how humans see time, we can build experiences that feel immediate & satisfying.
What we'll cover:
You already know that accessibility is important. In fact, it's the law. It's also a good idea. Let's make the Web accessible--and faster--for everyone.
Estelle Weyl skips the "why" and focuses on the "how." Marking up accessible, performant websites can be as simple as using the right semantic elements in your HTML. Semantic HTML can prevent bugs, improve performance, reduce code bloat, and make your site accessible to screen readers and keyboard users.
Estelle explores accessibility features native to semantic elements and demonstrates how to add additional accessibility with a sprinkling of ARIA roles and attributes. Estelle also covers making accessible form controls, input masking, attractive selects, and creating a fully accessible carousel that functions perfectly with just a few lines of CSS, even fewer lines of JavaScript--and no frameworks.
ES6 has turned our understanding of JavaScript upside down. This talk will dive into some of the best parts of ES6 that you can start using today. We will start with some of the more common pieces of ES6 and then progress into the deep end exploring parts such as Destructuring and Sets. Get ready for a fast pace talk filled with plenty of real world examples.
In this talk, I review a handful of tools that every front-end developer should know. From image compression with Gulp or Grunt to JavaScript Modules and using NPM as a package manager.We tend to think of web performance in purely objective terms: seconds to first paint, milliseconds of latency, and so on.
